[Don Agro]

Some new features in the latest 5.17 betas...

	• Added Reports.

"Reports" under the Log Menu. Lots more to do here but the Reports Prefs allow you to choose which fields to include.

Temporarily enable/disable entries in your scan list.

	• Added NOAA propagation to Web Map.

Web Map Popup shows you Today, Forecast and Space weather with further links.

	• Added Serial IO double buffering.

Very techie but increases responsive of the serial driver while reducing load.

	• Added Auto Increment numeric end of STX_STRING.

Not sure if anyone needs this but I remember someone asking for this in V4. Also added some tool tips to the Contest Panel.

	• Added adaptive radio polling.

Adjusts the radio polling rate based on activity.

	• Internationalized frequencies.

Allows are European friends to enter and display 10.000,00 instead of 10,000.00.

	• DXCC, Specific Call and All Call Alarms no longer require lookup.

Lets the alarms stay active without AUtoLookup messing up your data input.

Fred at QRZ has been busy cleaning up the QRZ databases and improving the XML feed.
